Lendale White Released

He dropped weight for the reunion with coach Pete Carroll, but yesterday the Seattle Seahawk cut the reunion short and cut Lendale White.  The Seahawks cut him a couple of months after trading for him during the NFL Draft.  The Seahawks are now back to where they were before the draft - without a goal line back. 

Drug Offense

It has been reported that Lendale White had been in violation of the league's substance abuse policy. Though no details of what drug White tested positive for, Jason La Canfora from the NFL Network is reporting White was facing a four game suspension. This can't be the major reason the release though, the Seahawks were aware of the possible suspension when they traded for him.

Work Ethic

It seems that White is suffering from Jamarcus Russell disease. White has never been the most motivated worker among his teammates. Though the Seahawks must have thought he had changed with the drop in weight.

The only explanation of the release was from General Manager John Schneider stating, "It became apparent at this time that LenDale was not ready to be a member of the Seahawks. It just did not appear to be the right fit at this point in our program. We wish LenDale all the best with his future."
